Who they were
A layman born on 28 February 1907, the only son of a widowed mother, he was about to be married. Pope Francis beatified him with Vicente Queralt Lloret and his twenty companions on 11 November 2017.
The miracles
As a martyr he was raised to the altars without a miracle.
Why that counted as sanctity
The decree on martyrdom praises the steadfast faith of these companions and their gentleness in the face of violence.
